The Winter edition profiles some local accommodation, eateries and attractions in what is an impressive spread featuring some lovely photography.

I may be biased, but looking at it, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were reading about inner-city Sydney cafés, or trendy Melbourne coffee shops.

Entitled ‘Head for the Hill(tops)’ I’d recommend readers go online (www.hercanberra.com.au) and take a look at the article that showcases our region to a city audience who surely won’t be able to resist the temptation to visit, and who knows, maybe even relocate!

Our local businesses are certainly second to none, but we can’t rely on visitors to the area to boost their trade.

We must ensure we all support our region’s economy and shop local when we can; we’re so lucky to have so many (not so) hidden treasures on our door step.
